From ff7d080e528d8faf5bc175fd9909889af03e1566 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sudip Mukherjee Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2016 16:40:36 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] reiserfs: fix dereference of ERR_PTR reiserfs_iget() returns either NULL or error code in ERR_PTR. And we were only checking for NULL, so in case of some other error we will try to dereference the ERR_PTR(-errno) thinking it to be a valid pointer.
